Promiscuous Reading.
"I read any book I lay my hands
on" said a young drug clerk to a
a customer who had found a copy
of an atheist book on the counter
and who h.id warned him on the
character of the volume.
"But are you not afraid of pois-
oning your mind?" inquired the
J customer. N
i "Not a bit of it" was the reply.
' "Then no doubt you are noti
afraid of poisoning your body"
continued the customer "and you;
taste every drug you lay your
hands on?"
"I do not" exclaimed the clerk.
"What!" cried the customer
"you are willing to risk poisoning
your mind by destroying its faith
in God but you are careful not to
poison your body. But oxalic
acid would probably cause less in-
jury than the reading of that book.
The acid would kill the life of
your body but the book is
designedto kill the life of your
soul. Now take an old man's
advice don't read every book you
get a hold of any more; some of
them are sure death to what is best
in man worse than the sting of a
rattlesnake or a dose of strychuine.
Read good books or none. And
be sure that it would be as sensible
to go along those shelves and take
a glassful of every drug you have
in the store as it is to read every
book that you lay your hands on."

as mercury will surely ilestroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians as the damage
